Cheng Yue falls in love at first sight with her cool, elegant senior.
At a club gathering, senior Jiang Ranyi turns down everyone's attempts to chat her up, but chooses to sit beside Cheng Yue, who's curled up in a corner.
Amid the noise of the room, Cheng Yue hears Jiang Ranyi's cool voice beside her: "Cheng Yue, would you like to date your senior?"
With the senior's soft body beside her and the scent of cedar lingering in her nose, Cheng Yue wonders if she's hearing things.
Later, she and Jiang Ranyi hold hands and kiss countless times in the car, out of sight of their classmates.
In the little place they share, they huddle under one blanket. Held tight in Jiang Ranyi's arms, Cheng Yue's breaths grow louder and louder.
No one knows that the moon they all covet has fallen into Cheng Yue's arms.
Jiang Ranyi is possessive. She doesn't like Cheng Yue getting too close to anyone, and won't even let her look at other people for too long.
After soothing her skin hunger, she loves to murmur in Cheng Yue's ear, again and again: "You can only look at me. You can only love me."
Their secret relationship lasts a year.
With Jiang Ranyi about to graduate, Cheng Yue spends several months' living expenses on a pair of rings, hoping to build a future with her senior.
After the graduation ceremony, Cheng Yue goes to find her in the backstage lounge, only to accidentally overhear Jiang Ranyi talking with a friend.
"Now that you're graduating, what are you going to do about your little girlfriend?"
Jiang Ranyi leans against the wall, her tone as cool and indifferent as Cheng Yue remembers.
"Break up."
"She's just a miracle cure for my skin hunger."
Cheng Yue suddenly understands.
So Jiang Ranyi has always treated her like medicine for her skin hunger, something to toss aside once it has served its purpose.
Cheng Yue throws away the rings and blocks everything connected to Jiang Ranyi.
She no longer wants a future with Jiang Ranyi.
*
Jiang Ranyi only ever saw Cheng Yue as a tool to ease her condition. She never thought of taking their relationship any further.
Yet for a long time after they parted, Jiang Ranyi couldn't get used to being without her.
She assumes it's just withdrawal from going without her miracle cure.
Until Jiang Ranyi meets Cheng Yue again, and sees a beautiful, unfamiliar woman take her former girlfriend's hand.
With a buzz, something snaps in Jiang Ranyi's mind.
A faint pink flush spreads over her skin. The familiar craving, dormant for years, suddenly erupts again, screaming:
Cheng Yue is mine. She can't have anyone else.
